Well fellas I just sold OJ to the right buyer and the transaction went smooth this time.

Yezzi · 12-01-2011, 05:43 PM

Several days later I found the 73-74 blue and white color combo I've always wanted. So here we go again.

Meet BlueJ

Yezzi · 12-01-2011, 05:49 PM

It's a solid Arizona truck I was able to obtain for little money.

Yezzi · 12-01-2011, 05:52 PM

It has that hard to find pearl and black interior like OJ had. Most of the blue and white trucks had that all blue interior that was common.

dmwphoto · 12-01-2011, 05:58 PM

looks like it is solid and should be great when you get done with it.

Yezzi · 12-01-2011, 06:00 PM

Don't know whats up with the blue motor? I need to run the numbers and do a compression test.

Yezzi · 12-01-2011, 06:02 PM

Jonboy · 12-01-2011, 08:06 PM

It already has (had) two slots on it. I think it's trying to tell you something.

my4by2 · 12-01-2011, 09:23 PM

Looks like a good start man - if it turns out half as nice as the last one you'll have another great truck!!! Looking forward to more updates!

**lolife99** · 12-01-2011, 09:28 PM

What's the plan for the blue truck?

Yezzi · 12-01-2011, 09:44 PM

So far I'm going with a 4" 6" drop all McGaughys, spindles, coils, shackles, hangers and shocks. Wheels will be either stock white steels with the correct dog dishes and thin white walls or 8X15 deep polished slots with a set of BFG. Restore the interior and see how the paint buffs out. I'm a sucker for original paint.

bustedknuckles · 12-01-2011, 11:13 PM

Good lord that thing is in good shape. Arizona..... Wish I could find that truck here. Great project. I second the slots motion.

Skellington · 12-01-2011, 11:34 PM

Can't wait to see this one done... OJ was one of my fav's... I'm sure BlueJay will be too...

Pop's C-10 · 12-02-2011, 12:08 PM

This is going to be good...subs..

mcboomport · 12-03-2011, 09:12 PM

Man, your old truck was one of my favorites. I can't wait to see this one. The blue/ white combos are awesome! I hope you're kidding about "buffing" that thing.

truck looks like it is in one piece bro keep the updates coming on what you do with it......

franky69c10 · 12-13-2011, 10:21 PM

any updates

Yezzi · 12-14-2011, 12:22 AM

Yes just bought a parts truck 73 orange long bed with a mint white/pearle interior. I am busy stripping that down. Also just pullled the motor on my 56 I was lucky enough to get it into Barrett Jackson last minute for Jan 22. So with that deadline I am working on that project.

Conundrum · 12-14-2011, 11:52 PM

Solid truck

I'm watching

Squareforceone · 12-15-2011, 06:09 PM

Well I just ran the numbers on the block and it came back a 79 truck 350. I also did a compression test and it scored about 135 psi per cylinder. As of now I am just collecting parts and trying to get this 56 done for the auction.

**N2TRUX** · 12-24-2011, 06:40 PM

Sweet project once again. That parts truck looks to be in great shape too. I agree about leaving the paint. Clean it up, add fresh trim and it will be a BIG hit.
